Re: gun shy about new laptop

I have an HP Pavilion purchased nearly two years ago, and I have very few issues with it. Now, this may sound stupid, but where is this fn key that people are talking about. I thought that all of the top row of little keys were function keys. Thank you. Peace. Linette On 4/12/2017 1:35

Yes Yes, I remember that Big ol Basic Calculator. I recall it was a Whopping $400, which was a lot of money back in those days. More than I had any way. I had just gone through Rehab, where I learned to use the Abacus. Laugh if you want, but once I learned that Abacus, I thought everyone

Hi Brenda, I am not sure whether you realize, but you can reassign the F8 copy key under hot keys, browse mode. Also, I only run desktops, and all of them have a battery backup, which cost about $50.00 and will keep your PC alive until you either power down manually, or it will automatically

Hi robin, I have a similar story to yours. I am now a casual home computer user as I no longer do medical transcription. I own a 15 inch Lenovo laptop which I purchased last spring when my Win7 pc almost died. When I called Window-eyes Tech support to find out what to avoid with laptops,

Hi listers: All the stuff going on in the AT market made me think back to the 80's. Anyone remember the Speech Plus calculator from Telesensory Systems? Back in the late 70's, it blew many of us away. We had seen calculators, and had our sighted friends and family members demonstrate

gun shy about new laptop

Late last summer I got a new HP laptop. The primary thing that drew me to it in the store was the keyboard layout of having the 10-key number pad on the right, yet only being a 15 inch screen. What I did not realize until after I got it home and paid money for a tech to come help me set it up
